Saludos!

Not a lot to report this week! We didn´t have a lot of lessons, because nobody was every home, but it was a good week. 

We had intercambios (exchanges) with the sister leaders in La Vega. It´s always fun to go to a different area and meet more people. This transfer, Hermana Zegarra and I both went to their area to proselyte, and we had a fun time with them.

We´ve been working with a the Vasquez family. They´re a reference from the brother of President Buret, who isn´t a member. They´re wonderful. Joana, the mom, told President Buret´s brother that she´s looking for Christ in her life, and he suggested the church of his brother. We´re teaching Joana, the mom, and her son, Vladimir (15), Johenny (9), and Manuel (5). They´re so fun and we always have a great time teaching them. They always tell us how much they love learning from us because they things we teach are so clear and they make sense. The first time we taught her, she said "I read that book you left us. I love it!" She told us that she feel so much peace when she reads it, and it´s so clear. It´s been so fun to teach them, they´re such a happy silly family. 

A Day in the DR:

In the US, whenever we want to pretend like we speak Spanish, we add -ito to all of our words. Here, when they want to speak English, they at -ation to all of their words. haha I though that was pretty cute.

Here, when they make rice, they burn it on purpose. Then they scrape the burnt part off of the pan and call it con-con. Everyone loves it! While we were staying with the sister leaders at their house, I went over to stir the rice, and Hermana Bido said "Wait! You can´t stir it! You have to let it sit!" haha After it finished cooking, she let it sit for almost half an hour so the bottom could burn. I love these people. 

Thanks for your love and support! Have a wonderful week, and remember who you are!
